Designing a website
‘Design is never ending…’ and that’s true, but where do you stop? Do you stop when you like the look of the images and layout, that must mean there isn’t any more development to do, right?
Wrong, just because you like it doesn’t mean to say somebody else will, and it certainly doesn’t mean that it will turn your market on. The best way to find out is to create something then show it to someone and gauge their reaction. If they don’t like it you change it and present it again. This is what you should do with your website, get a few pages up there, gets some feed back and then improve and expand.
Anybody can design a website, the tools to do it are readily available and relatively cheap. If you want to try it, go right ahead, be aware however that finding that right balance of images and layout may take you a long long time, ‘Design is never ending…’ remember. The secret isn’t knowing when to stop it’s knowing where to begin. It’s knowing how to research the design trends of a market and pick out the best bits, it’s knowing how to melt those elements into the clients existing style. It’s knowing how to collect the feedback to improve the whole.
Design isn’t just visual, it’s far more than that, this is why design professionals are used. While it might seem expensive in the short term, in the long run you can’t afford not to if you are serious about your website.
